Simply Supported Boundary Conditions
Simply Supported Boundary Conditions
(OP)
Hello!
I would be glad if any one of u can provide some valuable info on applying the correct simply supported boundary condition (S.S) on a plate.
I am doing an analysis of a thin laminated plate S.S at all edges Loaded in x direction. Currently i have boundary conditions as seen in the picture. Are these correct? I need to be sure as i have to stiffen this plate and then compare the results with analytical ones(classical laminate theory). These boundary conditions give close results to those of analytical ones but not for stiffened plate. Note that there is no constraint in deflection the y-direction. I am applying constant edge load. Should i use any other method?
Plz do give ur feed backs.

The boundary conditions can be S.S.
However, the U2 is free.
As my habbit, I will constrain 1 point for 1,2 ,3,
One edge for 1, other symetry rotation constrain ,
all edge U3 and UR3 constrain.
That is all.
